Best Son-in-law
The Perfect Defeat
“How can my card not meet the total bill limit? You think my card is a regular card?” Alex sounded fiery in order to cover up his embarrassment.
“Sorry Sir, but that's exactly what happened. The total bill amounted to one billion rupiah, while your limit card only amounted to seventy-five million rupiah.” The pramusaji explained.
“One Billion rupiah? Are you crazy? How expensive is the food I ordered?” Alex felt unaccepted with the total amount of the bill.
“I've warned You Sir, before you order a dish It would be nice if you check the price list. But you always cut my words. The wine you ordered was the best product we had, the price per bottle was in the hundreds of millions. And you took out about eleven bottles of Master. Plus the menu of dishes we serve is the best in class,” said the Pramusaji.
Alex's body squeezed for a moment. He is too overpowered by arrogant feelings and wants to impress Sonya. But, the rice had already become porridge. There was nothing else Alex could do, so he was forced to borrow money from Yunita.
“Yuni, lend me your money. I'll return it soon,” Alex half pleads.
“I think with your style like the upper class, you have a wealth of Alex. But it turns out I was wrong. I'm sorry, but I can't give you a loan. I ... don't have that kind of money,” Yunita said quietly.
Later, Alex turns to their other friends. But the result remains the same. No one is willing to give him a loan.
In order to cover up his embarrassment, he again attacked Chandra. “You made this mess. If only you hadn't spent so many bottles of wine, I would have been able to pay all the bills. You must take Chandra's responsibility!”
Chandra who heard Alex's words even laughed, he felt this time Alex was just more humiliating himself. “You know Alex? You're really not a real man. A true man will surely keep his word. What you're doing is getting you into a deeper hole. Embarrassing.”
A moment later Chandra took out his wallet, and took out a Gold-colored card with the Kusuma family crest. Then, Chandra handed the card to the Pramusaji. Looking at the card Chandra offered him, the waitress was shocked.
He looked at Chandra with a difficult look before he finally said, “Wait a moment Sir. I'll call my manager.” The man walked in a hurry.
Alex, who does not know what card it is, again attacked Chandra with his scathing sentence, “You turned out to be more embarrassing than Chandra! The waiter even directly called his superior because he knew, the card you have is worthless.”
Sonya watched the scene quietly, she was even seen enjoying every sentence that came out of Alex's mouth. Her beautiful face was adorned with a thin, yet deadly smile. Shortly thereafter the waitress returned with a man wearing a suit and tie. If Alex and the others thought the man would curse Chandra, the opposite would happen. He bowed as a sign of respect to Chandra.
“Goodnight Mr. Chandra, sorry for your unsatisfactory service tonight. We do not know if you come to visit our restaurant, if only we knew from the beginning we would give the room more privacy again. I'm sorry for your inconvenience tonight,” said the Manager.

Chandra stepped on the gas pedal even deeper, and swooped sharply at the front corner. If anyone doesn't know Chandra's true profession and sees his action on the racecourse, that person will definitely think that Chandra is a professional racer.
Chandra may not be a person born into a wealthy family, but that does not mean dampen Chandra's determination to learn many things.
Unwittingly by Chandra, the action caught the attention of a beautiful woman. The woman was so admiring the figure of Chandra, since he was rescued by Chandra some time ago, he always followed the man's development.
Aluna Kusuma approached Chandra, when she saw the man stopping in front of the Pit Stop. “Good afternoon Mr. Chandra.” Aluna smiled sweetly.
“Good afternoon Miss Aluna, what a coincidence that we met at this place.” Chandra replied to Aluna kindly.
“Yes, a coincidence. I just stopped by to see people training here. Since the incident last time, my parents did not allow me to drive again.” Aluna's face looked a little sad.
Chandra who saw Aluna's expression became unwell himself, finally he decided to take Aluna around the city and he would drive.
Aluna gladly accepted Chandra's offer. All this time Aluna's space was very limited, she could not go anywhere she wanted to at will. Being born into a wealthy family is not only a gift, but also a curse.
Aluna sat down next to Chandra who was driving her car. He looks so happy to be able to get around town. There are many sights that he has never seen, his vacation time is actually more spent with the streets abroad.
“Nona Aluna, have you ever tasted food at a culinary festival?” Chandra suddenly wants to take Aluna to a culinary festival in the city center.
“No, I've never been to a culinary festival downtown. Is there such an event here?” Aluna doesn't even know anything about the capital.
“Of course there are. Culinary festivals are even routinely held every year, every June to July. There are many traders who sell cuisine from all regions in the country. Would you like to try it?” Chandra explained.
“Of course I want to,” Aluna's eyes look sparkling with pleasure.
